Some bonds are formed by being at the right place at the right time. In this case, the Rasmussen sisters just happened to born into the right family. Ohio’s grunge-pop band, Good English, consists of sisters Elizabeth, Celia, and Leslie Rasmussen, who are gearing up to release their debut, self-titled album on March 11. The trio have their own unique blend of grunge, garage-pop, and punk-influenced rock and roll that sounds like the lovechild of Nancy Sinatra and Black Sabbath. With their 80’s inspired rock n’ roll sound, intricate tempo changes, and catchy…

Evanescence have officially been on hiatus since 2012. The band, however, have recently been added to Ozzfest Japan’s lineup.

Today, Black Sabbath announced their final EVER show. The stage will be set at Ozzfest Japan on November 22nd. That one might leave some of their home country fans a little peeved. A trip to Japan, anyone? Ozzy Ozbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler will be joined by Bill Ward, who skipped Sabbath’s reunion shows due to a financial dispute. Whilst that might be their last show, they still have another album to be released. As announced last September, they will put out one more album, too, before they officially call it a day. To…

It had been a long time since I watched the movie Almost Famous, written and directed by Cameron Crowe, and I happened onto it on Netflix the other day. I barely remembered it but at the time I watched it, I don’t remember being particularly moved. I was coming off three years of touring in the Jam Band Circuit with the Boulder band Zuba and wasn’t interested in a movie about life on the road with a band. Now that some years have passed, I can sit back and enjoy…
